Esther Ku is an internationally touring stand-up comedian originally from Chicago by way of South Korea. You may know her from NBC’s Last Comic Standing, MTV’s Girl Code, Nick Cannon’s Wild’n Out on MTV2, Comedy Central’s @Midnight, The Jack & Triumph Show, Family Guy or The Jim Gaffigan Show. She will be hosting the 2019 AVN Awards show in Las Vegas. She is a member of the all female sketch show Sorry Not Sorry on go90.
She has been a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, Getting Doug with High, Jenny McCarthy’s Dirty Sexy Funny Show on Sirius XM Stars, and The Playboy Morning Show. She was selected by Howard Stern as a finalist in the Hottest Funniest Chick Contest and has appeared on the Artie Lange Show on Direct TV.
She officially began stand-up in Boston when she got a job as a traveling pen sales representative. For a hot second the team Ku and the Jew ruled the club — until they were fired by the bartender. She now travels the world entertaining audiences with her bratty charm and infamous maniacal laugh. She is the host of her own podcast Ku and the Gang on iTunes.
On her spare time, she manages to dedicate her energy to a serious and troublesome cause — to end tickling forever. “Tickling is forcing someone to laugh when you’re not being funny. Tickling is the opposite of comedy. If you’ve ever tickled anyone, you’re a fraud!” she warns.
